You should definitely add those files to your Xcode project. You can still edit them in your other editor, but Xcode will include them in your bundle automatically if you add it to the project. If they aren't getting copied when you build, this is how I resolve it:

• Right click on the file in Xcode and choose "Touch" which updates the timedate stamp on the file, so it looks "new".

• On the simulator, choose Reset Content and Settings from the File Menu.

• In Xcode, do a Build Clean

When you build and run after that it should install the file just fine.

EDIT:

To add external folders to your project that will get included in your bundle and preserve the folder structure intact, all you need to do is:

• Click on the project icon at the top of the file list on the left.

• Click the Project menu and Add to Project.

• Select the folder you want to include and click Add.

• Unchecked the Copy checkbox and change "Recursively create groups for any added folders" to "Create Folder References for any added folders".

• When the target is built, open up the bundle and your directory structure will exist inside fully intact.
